Tracy Abrams may hold Illini's fate in hands

There's only so much Maniscalco's ankle can take, so the development of Abrams may determine the path for the Illini over the next two months.

"That's the key to the season," said Stephen Bardo, the former Illini guard who worked as an ESPN2 analyst Thursday on the telecast of Illinois' 54-52 loss at Penn State. "He's learning from Sam, but he had a trial under fire. He's getting that right now."
